About Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo)

  • Kingdom: Animals
  • Phylum: Chordates
  • Class: Birds
  • Order: Hawks, Eagles, Kites, and Allies
  • Family: Hawks, Eagles, and Kites

The common buzzard is a medium-to-large bird of prey which has a large range. It is a member of the genus Buteo in the family Accipitridae. The species lives in most of Europe and extends its breeding range across much of the Palearctic as far as northwestern China, far western Siberia and northwestern Mongolia. Over much of its range, it is a year-round resident. However, buzzards from the colder parts of the Northern Hemisphere as well as those that breed in the eastern part of their range typically migrate south for the northern winter, many journeying as far as South Africa.
